MRSA Takes Its Toll

Chris Harry was a healthy, robust sports reporter until he was recently diagnosed with a nerve disorder in his brain. He developed a violent reaction to his medication - having about 20 "horrible headaches" a day. Eventually, his docotors found another drug that worked. But it had a secondary effect that was about to change his life even more. It weakened his immune system.

That's when MRSA crept into his life.

Tere are probably 200,000 or more clinically-diagnosed staph infections in Florida each year. Most infections are mild, but a few are serious and lead to hospitalizations and even death.
